National Protest Against Prop 8

With the unfathomable passing of Prop 8, which denies same-sex couples from lawful marriage, opponents

have been striking back with several protests. I joined the forces on Saturday, November 15 and marched

with fellow Angeleans to fight for equality and battle bigotry.

My buddies Minh & Ted marching in the Prop 8 protest and recently "tied the knot" on Nov. 3, 2008.

Seriously, WTF Cali?

Hundreds of protesters emerge from the Metro red line at Civic Center station near City Hall. Metro authorities

let us ride for free and with every station stop, people cheered as other protesters came on board. We were stuffed

in like sardines, but well worth the trouble!

In tandem with other marches around the nation through "Join the Impact", thousands of gays, lesbians,

straights and families took to the downtown streets to show their solidarity to overturn Prop 8.

Touche!

Double touche!

"And blacks down in the South had their own drinking fountains." I overheard this response when someone

said that gays & lesbians have civil unions. In other words, offering a separate contract is NOT equality,

especially when a marriage license is sanctioned by the state, which has a constitutional responsibility

to not discriminate against race, color, creed, religion, sex...

Despite the +90 degree heat, thousands of protesters marched together peacefully in downtown LA

before heading north through Chinatown.

Equality for All. Overturn Prop 8!
